South Freeport Congregational Church today is a busy place. Many of the activities that happen at the church are overseen and organized by various committees of volunteers beyond our paid staff. These folks do a tremendous amount of work for our church and community. These committees and individuals include, but aren't limited to, in no particular order: the Major Church Officers (President, Clerk, Treasurer, and Church Council), the Trustees, Deacons, Called-to-Care, Missions, Christian Education, Coffee Hour, Endowment Trustees, Financial Secretaries, Flowers, Music, the Events Team (Fundraising), Pastoral Relations, Stewardship, Delegates and Historian. Many projects are coordinated and carried out by volunteers as needed outside a formal committee. Below is an introduction to a few of our valued volunteers.

Treasurer: Laura Ramage

Church Clerk: Cheryl Worcester

I am that rare thing…a true Mainah! I was born in Machias, grew up in Bangor, graduated from UMO and moved to southern Maine. I’ve lived in Freeport since 1987 but never really became part of the community until I retired in 2011 after 40 years in insurance claims. I worked for Kemper Insurance, Hartford Insurance and ended my career at MEMIC as Director of Technical Operations.

When I retired, I knew that one thing I wanted to find was a church family. I was drawn to South Freeport because I knew a couple of the members from my years at The Hartford from serving on the Medical Advisory Board at MEMIC but the deciding factor when I started to attend was that our church has so many young people, a sure sign of stability and a future. I’m pleased to currently serve as a Deacon, a member of the Events Team and, since 2014, the Church Clerk. When I’m not at church, I volunteer in the Thrift Shop at FCS, usher at Portland Stage, take Senior College courses at Mid-Coast Senior College, travel, and spend time with friends, family and my dog, Meggie Mae, and my cat, Rosie.

Head Trustee: Bill GilmanI have been a Trustee for two years and Head Trustee since this past year. Twelve years ago my wife, Kris, and I moved to Maine so that Kris could be more helpful to her daughter Amy who was busy in the Real Estate business with Keller Williams. Kris helped with driving the kids to various activities when needed.Kris and I both had always been members of a church so we started looking for a church to join. We found that South Freeport Church was perfect for us. Kris loved music and singing and joined the Church Choir right away. I have worked in the Stainless Steel Industry all of my working career and have been responsible for New Business Development for The Ulbrich Stainless Steels & Special Metals, Inc, a family owned company located in Wallingford and North Haven, CT. I commuted to Connecticut on Mondays and returned to Maine on Fridays for a number of years. I continue to work for Ulbrich from home but no longer commute.I had little available time to help at Church until I stopped the weekly commute. Now, besides working, I enjoy yard work, golf, boating and fishing on my Boston Whaler Outrage docked at Brewers. I no longer enjoy shoveling snow as I did growing up in Vermont as a kid. Hopefully the past winter is not going to repeat every year. Kris and I are both avid RED SOX fans.

​Trustee and Events Team Member: Greg LinkWhile having business in Maine since 2002, Greg and Deborah Link moved to South Freeport in 2013 upon his retirement, after having lived in New Jersey for 27 years. Previously the Links have lived in Austin, Texas, Pittsburg, PA, and California. The Links have two daughters (Tiffany {Marianski} and Ashley) and two grandchildren, Finn and Fiona Marianski. Tiffany’s husband is Andrew Marianski. Through the years, the Links have always been active in their churches and are pleased to now be active in South Freeport. In addition to Greg serving as a Trustee, he and Deborah also both serve on the Events Team and enjoy assisting in planning many of the church’s fundraising efforts. Greg and Deborah will celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary in April of 2016.
